Those black streaks are common in our humid climate and are caused by algae growth. While often cosmetic, they can degrade shingles over time. We start with a professional roof inspection to assess the damage. For mild cases, a gentle, low-pressure cleaning may suffice. However, if stains are severe or the roof is older, it might indicate it's time for a repair or replacement. We can discuss all options, including algae-resistant shingles for your new roof installation to prevent future growth.

Yes, nail pops should be addressed. They occur when roofing nails back out due to temperature swings and framing movement, which is common here. A popped nail creates a small hole in your roof membrane, allowing water to seep into your decking and attic, leading to leaks and rot. As part of our roof repair service, we securely replace and seal popped nails with matching materials. During a roof inspection, we'll check for widespread pops, which can sometimes signal a need for a more extensive reroofing or replacement project to ensure your home stays watertight.

Absolutely. Properly functioning gutters are your roof's first line of defense. Clogged or damaged gutters cause water to overflow and run down your siding and back up under your roof edges, which can worsen algae growth and contribute to wood rot around nail points. Our gutter installation, cleaning, and repair services ensure water is channeled safely away from your home. We recommend seasonal gutter cleaning and can install gutter guards to minimize maintenance, protecting your roof investment and your home's foundation from water damage.
